I like the compactness of the new widgets, but the loss of the icons is a little sad for me. The widgets lost some personality... I don't suppose you could humour me and let us have yet another setting to turn the icons on and off?

qole - I will add an option to enable/disable "compact mode" in the next version.

There may be cases when toggling this option makes your widget land on another desktop or on top of an existing widget due to the changed size. Does this sound like something users could deal with, or should I put some text in the dialog to explain it?

Version 0.3-4 contains fixes by Marius (mgedmin), who sent in patches that are very appreciated!

In previous versions there was some issues getting the correct IP when connected to a cellular network (I have no SIM, so cannot test this - perhaps somewhat ironic for the creator of the Dataplan bandwidth monitor?).

Marius noticed the problem and suggested a fix. I attempted to implement in version 0.3-3 (after crashing Marius' desktop in 0.3-2) but as the implementation was untested there were still issues. Marius stepped in and provided patches to fix the problems.

A big hand for Marius!

Version 0.3-5 - Hopefully the last version before it hits extras.

This version adds an option to "Use Compact Layout," meaning the user can switch between "compact" (smallest footprint) layout, and "non-compact" (larger layout with icon) layout.

This version has been promoted to extras-testing, please rate it!

Personal IP Address is now available in extras!

Thanks to everyone who tested, reported bugs, and made feature requests.

I don't have any immediate plans for new features for this widget, so if you have ideas let's here 'em!

There will be a version with some small fixes (bugtracker link provided in the package, slightly fixed layout for non-compact mode).

Well, since you offered.

I'd like to be able to see the name of the network I'm connected to, instead of "wlan0".

I've hacked it myself (http://slexy.org/view/s2smskchmq) and got this as a result:


The thing is, however, it being a hack an' all: it causes the whole desktop to hang for some seconds (and it's rather visible, TBH) upon startup.

It most likely lies down to the fact that I'm using D-Bus to retrieve the Network ID, from which I am able to get the name. It [the Network ID] can also be retrieved from GConf, but I found that - in some situations - it failed to update itself when connected to a network. This was when I checked some firmware revisions back. I haven't checked, however, if this issue is still in 51-1.

An alternative is dlopen()ing libconnui and attempting to use the function for doing exactly this provided by libconnui...

I have a better version that doesn't need GString if you're interested (I can get the ID as a string straight).

Nice applet

Is there also coming disconnect feature?

Hi, just popped in to say qwerty12's idea was mine as well, it would be mighty useful to see what I'm connected to, as long as it's reliable.

Also, that I've been using it actively for quite a while and it's great, no problems whatsoever. Good job.

are you then one who's email is provides in the programs details?

i wrote an email to you, dont know if you read it^^

i'll share my thoughts here with everyone:
i really really like your app, and i love how it connects by just clicking on it.

but there is one thing i miss: disconnecting by clicking!
when you're connected to a wlan or gprs, it would be nice if you could disconnect by clicking on it again.

that would save you from going to the status-menu, click on internet connections and disconnect from there.

just my two cents, discuss!
btw, having this as an option would be perfectly fine too.

I am the maintainer of the package, yes. I got your email and I will try to work in some time to update the applet. I will also look into qwerty12's change as an option.
